“…Several additional studies have reported on the spherical-type morphologies of chitosanbased nanoparticles 48 and their combination with chitosan to encapsulate metals like Cu Field emitter scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) is the term used when these electrons are beamed under a strong electric field 50 . Traditionally, high vacuum conditions are employed to apply an ultrathin coating of noble metals, such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), and platinum (Pt), to increase the electrical conductivity and contrast of nanomaterials 51 .…”

Wastewater pollution has been a global concern, necessitating the development of efficient and sustainable treatment technologies. Biogenic nanoparticles have emerged as a potential solution owing to their low cost, eco-friendliness, and high remediation efficiency. Among these nanoparticles, chitosan-based nanoparticles have gained significant attention for the treatment of wastewater. Chitosan, a biodegradable polysaccharide derived from chitin, possesses unique physicochemical properties that make it a suitable candidate for nanoparticle synthesis. The present review focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of chitosan-based biogenic nanoparticles for wastewater remediation. Various synthesis methods, such as chemical cross-linking, precipitation, biosynthesis, solvent evaporation, and emulsion techniques are discussed. The characterization of chitosan nanoparticles using techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) among others were also highlighted to provide insights into their structural and chemical properties. Additionally, the applications of chitosan-based nanoparticles in wastewater remediation, including the adsorption of heavy metals, organic dyes, and pharmaceuticals, are discussed. Finally, the review concludes with a discussion of the prospects and potential research directions in employing chitosan-based nanoparticles for wastewater remediation

Horticultural production systems have to move forwards to an environment-friendly and sustainable plant production. Basic substances can be added to reduce the use of synthetic plant protectant in conventional plant protection strategies. Regarding the protection of ornamental plants, less is known about the usage and behaviour of these alternative strategies and components. In our study, an infection of Podosphaera pannosa and Erysiphe polygoni in two different cultivars of cutting roses and one cultivar of French hydrangea was investigated. We studied the effect of a weekly foliar treatment of the basic substance chitosan (0.05 g/m2) compared to a water control and potassium hydrogen carbonate (VitiSan, Biofa GmbH, Münsing, Germany) in both production systems. As a result, in cutting roses as well as in French hydrangea, we found a significantly decreased infected leaf area following the use of chitosan and VitiSan compared to the water control. In both treatments, we found a stronger effect in French hydrangea, compared to roses. Results also indicate that the basic substance chitosan has to be used at a low pathogen level. We present a promising approach to reduce conventional plant protectants in ornamental plant production.
